    I am looking for someone to help with caring for my youngest daughter in the summer. She is currently 6 years old. During the week, I will need help picking her up at midday and caring for her for the remainder of the work day (1:30-5). The babysitter should also be available 2-4 nights a week, although that is flexible and with past Workaway-ers I work around their evening schedule so my night out coincides with their night in.

    The exchange is accommodation, groceries, and €200/month.

    Our apartment is airy, large and recently renovated. Amazing location. The workawayer gets their own bedroom.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    San Sebastián is probably the world's greatest city. The food is amazing, with pintxos lining the counters of every bar. There are three beaches, one of which is great for surfing and is about three blocks away from our house. We live in Gros, the younger, hipper neighborhood of San Sebastián. The mountains are at five minutes walking from our home; everything is in walking distance, really. Our three former caregivers have all fallen in love with the place and wish they could come back.
